@noseman Thanks a lot. That was an answer at Dr.Sassi speed.
I thought it had to do with the Quantize thing but it is totally different as in the past, years ago.

@noseman great to hear we will get a new Dr.Sassy here at the Forum.
I followed a lot of your Quick Tips and I am happy you join Cineversity.

@Dr-Sassi Thanks a lot for all your help.
When I posted a question I could rely on a quick answer.
I am sure going to miss you very much.

Good luck in finding a new challenge.

Best regards.

Stupid question. But how can I set my grid spacing. Can't find it anywhere.
I used it a lot and now I am into a project where I need it.

@Dr-Sassi It all worked locally. I can export the project with all textures and import it in Unreal. No problem.
But when I share the project with all assets and textures to the client he is getting problem with the textures.
Now I exported the project as FBX with embedded textures and all is fine on the client side.

@Dr-Sassi I see. It must work. I have to try harder.
I just exported a test file to my client but he can’t see the materials.
Uv’s and geometry are okay.
I’ll keep you informed.

Is it possible to export a C4D file with redshift textures as a data smith file?

@Dr-Sassi Nevrmind. Its no big deal.

@Dr-Sassi Thanks. I'll try tech support. Have a nice day/night

Is there a work around to save a startup layout for 2 screens.
When I try to save a layout with multiple pallets on 2 screens and open a new project the pallets open only on my main screen.

@Dr-Sassi I got this answer from Maxon Support.

Oh. And happy thanks giving.

@Dr-Sassi No. This is my problem.
Maybe it has to do with settings somewhere.

Shadow hinting doesn't work. Are my settings wrong?
I am on a MacBook Pro M1 Max with Sequoia 15.17.1 and the latest Cinema4D.

@Dr-Sassi Thanks. I got it. And now I understand what you mean. It would be a good idea to have layer support for instances.
You can remove the file now.

@Dr-Sassi thanks. I wil build it up in another way.
And sent a request to Support to add layer support for instances.

Where can I download the C.O.F.F.E.E. Filter plugin?

@Dr-Sassi Hi. Here is a test file to explain.
I have to fill a shop with dozens of shelves and it would be nice to toggle the products on and off.
Try to toggle on and off the "bottles and stuff" layer and see what happens.

How can I use layers with instances.
I have a Group which consists of several objects on several layers.
When I switch of layer 1 of object 1 the object becomes invisible.
But when I make an instance of this Group, layer 1 becomes visible again.
How can I solve this?

@Dr-Sassi

I found out I had the N~Q (Viewport, Options> Options> Materials) turned on in the render viewport and turned off in the current work viewport.
So problem was all on my side.
